The committee will select ten librarians for the award, and each winner will receive $5,000, a plaque and a trip to attend the awards ceremony in New York.
There are a few rules:
Each nominee must be a librarian with a master’s degree from a program accredited by the American Library Association in library and information studies or a master’s degree with a specialty in school library media from an educational unit accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education. Nominees must be currently working in the United States in a public library, a library at an accredited two- or four-year college or university or at an accredited K-12 school.
